US House Passes Record $1.15 Trillion Defence Bill to Fund Iran War

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a record $1.15 trillion defence spending bill, approving funding for military operations, including the ongoing conflict with Iran.

The legislation, known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), was approved in a 216–212 vote, largely along party lines. The bill includes funding for continued U.S. military operations against Iran, pay raises for service members, new weapons procurement, missile defence systems, and military modernization.

Supporters of the bill say the funding is necessary to strengthen U.S. national security and counter threats from Iran, China, and Russia. However, critics argue that the spending is excessive and have raised concerns about continued funding for the war with Iran and other controversial provisions included in the legislation.

They spent $4 trillion & 20 years and still lost to barefooted goat herders in Afghanistan.

So whether they spend $100 trillion, e no go change anything.

Everybody knows that US weapons are over priced & over rated.

The US military is well known for paying exorbitant amounts for even the littlest of things.

The US army once paid $42000 for an item originally sold for $62. That's how bad it is for them.

What China or Russia will buy with $32 billion, it'll take the US $5 trillion to buy the exact same thing.

But Nigerian-Iranian here were saying they won't do it...that Trump is on his own. .

Trump offered Iran a decent peace deal that if well utilized, it could see them develop like their neighbors and change their image globally in a positive way.....but as typical mullahs that they are, they chose WAR!!!... they're bound to learn the hard way.
